Piquenard was a prominent Midwest architect who designed the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_State_Capitol">State Capitol</a>in Springfield. The home was meant as a residence for Davis' wife, Sarah. David Davis himself spent most of his time there after his retirement from the U.S. Senate in 1883. The house remained in the Davis family until 1960, when it was donated to the state of Illinois, which operates it as a state historic site</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-nESigREthhk/UoldS571d_I/AAAAAAAASYE/L5456MJKAts/s1600-h/1-DSC_0087%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="1-DSC_0087" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="1-DSC_0087" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-99xUIHY7O3M/UoldUmSdoMI/AAAAAAAASYM/uzgH0X1VvaY/1-DSC_0087_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="429" height="288"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_PDlfvdm1rE/UoldWhKSgCI/AAAAAAAASYU/OgtqruAtYHU/s1600-h/2-DSC_0091%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="2-DSC_0091" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="2-DSC_0091" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-n73OBwDFo28/UoldYLobprI/AAAAAAAASYc/SrwC-SCwh4w/2-DSC_0091_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="429" height="288"></a></p> <h2>Back in Comlara Park</h2> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-BzQn1kEIp68/Uolda0C9hyI/AAAAAAAASYk/ufxxvr-qqrA/s1600-h/1-PB169615%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="1-PB169615" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="1-PB169615" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-KVtwZ7SkLaM/UoldcST41GI/AAAAAAAASYs/NESdAnR2Vr0/1-PB169615_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="429" height="323"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Z-iJqx6R_NE/Uoldeu4eZAI/AAAAAAAASY0/0EdpaHFZxvg/s1600-h/2-PB169617%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="2-PB169617" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="2-PB169617" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-U7yhmSVpESs/Uoldg1oadhI/AAAAAAAASY8/HS8a-w9z8MU/2-PB169617_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="429" height="323"></a></p> TnT (Terry and Teri) Meyershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04198139176097651632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795580984943349301.post-47287919885347962242013-11-15T17:12:00.000-08:002013-11-16T17:30:27.051-08:00We finally leave Camp Newmar<p>At 2:30PM we finally get to pull out of Nappanee.

The dog friendly lounge has a small laundry facility in it.</p> <p>After lunch we went on a road trip to Goshen, Indiana. We stopped at the Elkhart county Courthouse.</p> <blockquote> <p>Elkhart County was formed by the Indiana General Assembly1830; the first county seat was located in Concord Township. County commissioners relocated the county seat to Goshen in 1831. Jacob Studebaker, Goshen, designed first brick courthouse, completed 1833. Barrows and Garnsey, Chicago, designed second brick courthouse, completed 1870. Patton and Miller, Chicago, redesigned and enlarged Renaissance Revival style structure, completed 1909. Contractor, P.H. McCormick, Columbus, dismantled south end tower and dome, added north and south wings, and built new central dome and tower incorporating original 1870 clock.

As promised at 8:30 AM the motorhome is in a bay with a mechanic underneath the motorhome. We only need a new fuel line and the part will arrive about 1 PM. At 1:30 we get a call that all is well. So a $29.00 part and $220 labour we are off and running. Thank-you Mike and Boyer Trucks for the great service.</p> <p>Our destination is a small town park in Warrens Wisconsin.</p> <p>This photo is us crossing the Mississippi River at the Minnesota Wisconsin boarder near Hudson, Wisconsin.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-o0gOh7MbgUE/UnKFW4HZ4CI/AAAAAAAARbo/4yDsWmvp4Jk/s1600-h/1-PA280024%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="1-PA280024" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="1-PA280024" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-XuvUnIRsjME/UnKFYO3pDbI/AAAAAAAARbw/shtzQlve7_U/1-PA280024_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="429" height="323"></a></p> <p>We arrive at the park in Warrens just before sunset.</p> TnT (Terry and Teri) Meyershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04198139176097651632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795580984943349301.post-48955234260257864282013-10-27T20:17:00.000-07:002013-10-30T20:31:20.210-07:00Road Trip Cancelled<p>To day we drove 10 miles to a super Walmart to get supplies. I noticed fluid on our Honda Toad when we stopped. We went in the store and shopped. When we returned I started our motorhome and the fluid is diesel.</p> <p>Did an Internet search for a Cummins service centre and found a shop 2.7miles away. So off we went on a Sunday to camp overnight at the Cummins repair shop.</p> TnT (Terry and Teri) Meyershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04198139176097651632noreply@blogger.com2
